Verse 1
Empty chairs
The dinner is getting cold on the table
I sit
I wait
I wonder if you are ever coming home
Rain taps the glass like a warning
You look right through me lately
Like I am a ghost in our hallway
Cold
Bitter cold
Chorus
I am not leaving
Even if the fire is burning out
I am not leaving
Even if you forget my name
I stay
I stay
I stay
Post-Chorus
Stay for the silence
Stay for the mess
Stay
Verse 2
Dust on the frames
Pictures of us from three years ago
Looking happy
Looking whole
You sleep on the far edge of the mattress
Afraid to slip and brush my skin
Small space
Huge distance
Broken habits and bitter hearts
We are fading
But I am holding the threads
Chorus
I am not leaving
Even if the fire is burning out
I am not leaving
Even if you forget my name
I stay
I stay
I stay
Post-Chorus
Stay for the silence
Stay for the mess
Stay
Bridge
Maybe you want me to walk away
Maybe you want me to say it is over
Maybe you want me to close the door
But I cannot move my feet
The floor is made of lead
I am rooted to the wreckage
Waiting for a spark
Chorus
I am not leaving
Even if the fire is burning out
I am not leaving
Even if you forget my name
I stay
I stay
I stay
Outro
The light is low
Still here
I am still here
Just in case you look back
Just in case
Stay
